PREFACE. 
The herbarium of the late Dr. C. C. Parry has recently been care- 
fully arranged by a competent botanist, and a list of the plants made out 
which is presented in this catalogue. 
The herbarium is now offered for sale, with the cases containing it, 
and an extensive library of botanical works. 
The collection is particularly rich in Western and Southwestern 
United States plants. A glance through such genera as Ceanothus, As- 
tragalus, Dalea, Trifolium, Ginothera, Aplopappus, Bigelovia, Erigeron, 
Hemizonia, Senecio, Arctostaphylos, Gentiana, Gilia, Phacelia, Pentste- 
mon, Chorizanthe, Eriogonum, ete., will give an idea of the wealth of 
Western species 
Besides the iene catalogued there are about 1,400 specimens deter- 
mined only as far as the genus; also a few Hepatic, Musci and Fungi, 
wood specimens, etc., and a ao quantity of drying paper—all of which © 
will y sold with the herbariu 
the catalogue the sae preceding specific names indicate either 
the number of specimens from different collectors, or the number into 
which the material could be divided. Figures after the names of the 
species show the number of localities. When no figures are given, one 
specimen or one locality is to be understood. It will be seen that there 
are a great many duplicates which would be valuable for exchange or 
sale. 
The whole number of determined specimens and species in the col- 
lection is as follows:
